Senior Cloud Engineer

The Senior Cloud Engineer builds automates and operates Fervos Azure-native cloud platform turning architectural designs into repeatable well-governed infrastructure. The role centers on infrastructure as code GitHub-based delivery self-service platform capabilities and automated configuration of Linux and Windows systems. Success requires hands-on engineering demonstrated coding ability and the discipline to manage infrastructure through version-controlled peer-reviewed practices rather than manual change.

Responsibilities

Infrastructure as Code & Delivery

• Build and maintain infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) and reusable modules to provision Azure resources consistently across environments and sites
• Build CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and enforce GitOps workflows where changes flow through version control pull requests and peer review

Platform Engineering & Self-Service

• Build and iterate golden paths and self-service capabilities with guardrails codified as policy to keep provisioning within security cost and tagging standards
• Document platform capabilities so internal teams can consume them without one-to-one engineering support

Systems Configuration & Fleet Management

• Manage Linux and Windows configuration through automationAnsible and SUSE Manager (or equivalent) for Linux; Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy for Windowsrather than manual host-by-host changes
• Maintain baseline images and standards so new hosts including field and edge compute are provisioned in a known compliant state

Operations Security & Compliance

• Operate Azure landing zones and platform services within an Entra ID / Zero Trust model with observability across monitoring logging alerting and cost
• Ensure changes flow through auditable pipelines supporting SOX ITGC and apply NERC CIP-aligned controls where platform components support in-scope systems

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelors degree in computer science engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 8 years in infrastructure support or engineering with demonstrated progression
• 6 years in cloud engineering infrastructure automation or platform engineering
• Production experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform and/or Bicep) including reusable modules and state management
• Hands-on experience with Git/GitHub and GitHub Actions for CI/CD or similar product
• Demonstrated coding ability in Python and/or PowerShell evidenced by repositories or work samples
• Experience managing both Linux and Windows systems through automation (e.g. Ansible Microsoft Intune and/or Group Policy)

Preferred

• Platform engineering experience: internal developer platforms golden paths and self-service provisioning
• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) experience; Azure remains the primary platform
• SUSE Manager (or equivalent such as Red Hat Satellite) and Microsoft Intune at scale
• Policy-as-code (Azure Policy Open Policy Agent) and secrets management (Azure Key Vault HashiCorp Vault)
• Regulated-sector experience and familiarity with NIST CSF ISO 27001 or NERC CIP
• Certifications such as Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104) Azure DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400) or HashiCorp Terraform Associate
